chris confirmed its the wp. coolant everywhere, tasted the same (poor chris's kidneys!)
i pretty well figured it was the water pump, but if it wasnt coolant, then the other two options are possibilities. ive seen ATF shoot far and wide. then again, one usually knows that its atf.
good luck chris. im not looking forward to doing mine at 200k (im strongly considering an engine swap instead!) luckily i have about 17k until i have to do it. take pics and do a nice write up for us!
